Method acting is Lee Strasberg’s own version of Stanislavski’s System. This technique is more than just emotional memory substitution that Stanislavski teaches. It involves an actor being fully immersed and committed to the role he or she is playing. Method acting is not simply playing a role but becoming the character that is portrayed.
Actors are often seen as living a surreal kind of life – no real job, exorbitant salaries, and living life like it’s a permanent vacation. On the contrary, what actors do is priceless! With irregular working hours and subjection to rigorous and unthinkable role preparation requirements (such as method acting), the worth of actors and the service they provide cannot truly be quantified. Can you imagine what the world would be like without actors?
You don’t need a formal education to become an actor, but a bachelor’s degree in theater arts, drama, or similar field, would give an aspiring actor an advantage. You would learn and develop technical skills (i.e. method acting, improvisation, stage presence, etc.) to become a good actor.
